Want to get on this rollercoaster?

Last week I ran 33 miles. This is the highest millage week
that I have ever had. The one word that I would use to describe myself after
last week is STRONG. I might not be
where I want in terms of weight or speed but right now I feel strong. It is a
pretty good feeling.

I plan on increasing my distance but I probably will not
have another 30 mile week till after my half marathon. My goal miles are 40 a
weeks, I will get there one day. For the next four weeks I am going to drop my
miles a little and work on speed. This is something that I must do if I want to
PR at my next race.

*I wrote this part on Monday

Fast forward to today:

I think I broke my body. Everything hurts and I feel like I
can’t finish the easiest of workouts. I’m not injured, just feel like bleh. It
might be because I added swimming, spin, and weights to my workouts. Maybe I
shouldn’t train for a triathlon at the same time as a marathon. Don’t worry, I
am a quick learner.

Since the half is in weeks, I am going to kick it back and
just stick with running and a small amount of cross
training.

On to the best news yet…… I found running friends!! Yay, we
even run at about the same speed. I will probably go out with these girls two
to three runs a week. Maybe next week I will talk them into a group picture. I
don’t want to scare them off yet.

You also need to check this girl out Running Kellometers,
she is doing a raffle to raise money for Open Heart Magic. You can win (I
REALLY want to win) this cute outfit. She is an inspiration, what a great way
to combine to passions.

I love Kelly! and I think what happened to you is what I did - I increased my millage AND effort too much at the same time and then wouldn't be able to perform as hard the following week. Hopefully you don't feel like crap tomorrow. I find going for the SLOWEST run ever sometimes shakes everything out :)

About Me

So I have thought about blogging for quite some time now. Many people I know blog because they say it is therapeutic. Do I need therapy, probably but this is not the reason I have decided to blog. What do I need, I need a little (or a lot of) ACCOUNTABILITY. That’s right so the blogging begins. Here is my plan, to run at least a mile a day every single day for the next year. I know why I am blogging but why am I running? I have so many inspirational people in my life, some who have inspired this journey I am about to take. Is it to inspire myself, for weight loss (what girl doesn’t want that), or even to find a little peace? Who knows, luckily I have the next 365 days to figure it out. So ready or not run……
